I couldn't find a single crack. Front cap good. Sides good. Checked all vents. Everything good

So I'll keep an eye on it. We are expecting rain in Nashville and Memphis. Hopefully no more leaks

Jerry, check around the clearance lights. On our previous MH I had a front cap leak I couldn’t track down for a long time, finally figured out the water was coming in around one of the lights. Used a little clear silicone, no more leaking!

Sounds like a great trip, have been enjoying the pictures!!! Stay safe!!!

Really enjoying your travelogue but I’m a bit behind because we’re on our own junket to the northwest. Spotty WiFi most days. We went to Gettysburg and Hershey last summer and really enjoyed the trip. They do a really good job in recalling the Gettysburg history without over commercializing the place.

You might check the windshield gasket. Mine has leaked on every RV I’ve ever owned. Easy to seal with windshield sealant from any auto parts store.

Yes they do a very good job at Gettysburg and Hershey

The water seems to be dripping not running down a window or wall. When the rain stops during this trip I'll check it better or when I get home.

It only drips when its pouring out. Drizzle doesn't do it so it might be pooled water getting in.

Day 21. Nashville KOA

It rained pretty good last night and no leak. Got up around 7am to a little sprinkle. Decided to hook up the jeep and get out before heavier rain gets here. Everything went well. Electric and water put away with a little rain. Moved the jeep and mh the rain stopped, hooked up, and I was still fairly dry.

We drove toward the freeway and stopped at a small truck stop by the on ramp. Ate breakfast, showered, and on our way

About an hour into the drive a remembered I didn't unhook the water regulater and filter. Left it on the fawcet.

Lesson: don't break your routine because its raining. I was hurrying because I didn't want to get wet

After three hours we made the stop at Diamond Caverns. Tour took about an hour. Caverns are amazing. This one is small compared to Kachner caverns in Arizona but still very good

After that another 1-1/2 hours to Nashville. Weather is very nice, hot and humid but no rain. Rain is expected but hopefully only at night so we can see the sights during to day

My buddy Jeff is flying out on a red eye to meet us. We'll pick him up at Nashville airport tomorrow morning 9ish he will stay through Memphis then fly home

Until tomorrow. Maria has our day of site seeing planned and hopefully some good food

Day 22

Picked up Jeff at the airport then off to Franklin. Toured the Carter and Carnton houses

Carter house was a big battle that's never discussed. The north stopped the south in their march to attempt the takeover of Nashville

Carnton house was taken over by the south to treat the wounded. There is still blood in the wooden floors. Lots of soldiers lost limbs. Several thousands killed. Very interesting history for such a small town.

It was just happenstance that the two army's met there. They were both going to Nashville

After the tours we are a huge lunch and then ice cream yummmm

Pics: bullet holes in the small building next to the house. Every building had bullet holes but this one being made of wood not brick took more damage

Day 23. Downtown Nashville

Drove into town and hit up a few shops while walking to the Johnny Cash Museum. Had a good time there. Have always been a Johnny fan

After that it was a BBQ lunch then 2 hour tour a round town. Stopped at American Pickers store. That was a waste. They mainly sell their t-shirts cups etc. Not a hole lot of stuff they picked

Walking back to the tour van maria trips and smashes her phone. I was able to back up all her pics before it completely died. First thing we do back home is get two new phones

Came back to the mh to rest from this heat and humidity

They it was time for the Grand Ole Opery. Started with back stage tour. Mainly a tour of the performers dressing room and a history of the venue. They just off stage as the show started. After the first song we were escorted to our seats. We had 8th row center. It was a good show. Lots of fun

Day 24. 8 hour tour

Got on the tour bus at 830am. First stop Bella Meade Plantation. Beautiful property. Their main product was Thoroughbred horses. Almost every great horse you could name was a descendant of their stud horses, mainly Boonie Scotland. Great history

Stop two was lunch then the Heritage, Andrew Jacksons home. Huge property. We needed several more hours there. Toured the house, museum and a small part of the grounds

That's it lots of walking in the heat and humidity. Off to Memphis tomorrow
